Sell an inherited house

Inherited properties often sit empty, need work, or are being sold by several family members at once. A direct sale can reduce the number of moving parts.

What's the postcode of the property?

Free, confidential and with no obligation to sell.

No obligation. Your details are never sold on.

Before an inherited property can be sold

In most cases the estate needs a grant of probate (or letters of administration) before the property can be transferred or sold.

Your solicitor will confirm what applies to your situation. We are happy to prepare an offer while probate is progressing.

Empty and unmodernised properties

Empty properties can raise insurance and maintenance issues, and many inherited homes need updating. We consider properties in any condition, so there is no need to clear or renovate first.

How it works

Five clear steps from enquiry to completion

No listings, no viewings and no obligation at any point.

Why us

Why House Buying Experts?

A direct purchase from a company that buys properties itself — with the detail explained up front.

No estate agent

No listing, no marketing photography, no open-market viewings and no agent commission on completion.

No renovation required

We consider properties in almost any condition. There is no need to repair, decorate or clear anything first.

No obligation

Receiving an offer costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Nothing is binding until contracts are exchanged.

A direct process

We buy properties ourselves rather than passing your details on, so you deal with the buyer throughout.

Flexible completion

Completion is agreed between you, us and the solicitors — quickly if you need it, or later if that suits you better.

FAQs

Sell an inherited house: common questions
